The paper letters were cut at 8" and fit nicely on the chipboard letters. I inked the edges of the paper and the edges of the letters. I used ink for the chipboard letters since I couldn't find my black paint. It worked just fine but was a bit messy. I had to use a black sharpie to get into the corner tight spaces on the B, but that worked also.

Then, I decided to add just a bit of interest to the letters with some of the images from the Cricut Teresa Collins Chic and Scary cartridge. I welded one of the spiders to the web on the cartridge and cut that out at 7-1/4" and adhered it. I also cut the pumpkin twice at 2-1/2"- one time with the mouth and eyes using orange glitter paper and then I used the "hide selected contour" feature on the Cricut Craft Room to make a solid layer behind the pumpkin.

Finally, I loved the ominous raven and wondered how to adhere him to the "O". The easiest thing to do was use of the Close To My Heart Flip Flap plastic sleeves, tuck the raven into it and then use tape to adhere it to the back of the "O".

Since I didn't Mod Podge the letters, I would only use this inside. If you did Mod Podge, you could probably risk this outside. The web is delicate but it would probably be fine on the front door, out of the weather.

I don't make decor items yet, but do plan to as soon as my house is in order... we are in the middle of renovations. I do love this idea though, too cute, and when I have the the home I want totally trying this one!

WOW your sign is awesome you always do such a fantastic job with home decor....heck...you do an awesome job with everything you just rock our Craftin' world and bring us so much "JOY" at the same time!!I too love Theresa Collins anything and you do her things full justice.

Another fabulous winner! Jeezaloo you folks are dynamite. I just love everything about this BOO sign. It has so many uses like hanging off dining chairs at a dinner party or birthday. How cute would it be for a bridal or baby shower! But the Halloween motif is just perfect for the occasion.

Your hanging sign really ROCKS!!! What a great idea. I love yet another great chip board idea, looks like a great one to try with my grandson next year. Don't decorate for Halloween, but may start next year. Great idea for a Christmas "JOY" hanging decoration.

I've made a few home decor items recently ~ my favorite is probably the CTMH Advent Calendar countdown. It was pretty easy using the kit! I'm going to be making another one of those so that I can fill them with goodies for each of my sons' families.Love your "BOO" decoration!!Thanks so much for the chance to win this adorable cart!

I love your BOO sign! The raven on the branch and the spider web are great! I love to make things and decorate for Halloween! I sew and I have made a collection of dolls (witches), pumpkins and owls. They really look good around my 2 fireplace's.Pamhttp://scrap-n-sewgranny.blogspot.com/pamdanner1973@gmail.com

halloween is my favorite holiday to make home decorations for! October 31st and Chic and Scary have more than I can use in one year for inspiration, I've returned to them over and over since I've had them! love your daily inspiration :)

Oh my Gosh, I just love that door hanging decoration. I might just have to steal the idea and make one for my front door.It just never seeces to amaze me the wonderful craft projects you come up with.Have a good rest of your week. Did you watch any of the movies people suggested, yet?

I do make some Halloween decorations for my house and even for family and friends. To bad I didn't see this before I went to Hobby Lobby, I would have picked up the chipboard letters so I could make this, I really love how it turned out.

I love to decorate for Halloween! I even have a halloween tree. It has handmade ornaments and orange lights. I love the "BOO". I am just getting into using my Cricut Expression and I am loving it! I am a quilter also. But I have been playing with my cricut so much, I have not gotten much sewing done. Happy Halloween!

Fall decorations I do. Halloween have not decorated for halloween since the kids were small which was a long time ago. They now have kids and grandkids. So No don't decorate for Halloween. Love your decoration. TFS

I love how you filled the letters with the spooky stuff (especially the spider web!) I haven't made any home decor for Halloween, but I am excited about your idea and have it on my list of things to try!

Absolutely LOVE your BOO sign. Guess I'm going to have to add The Chic and Scary cart to my evergrowing collection. You have no idea how much inspiration and JOY you have brought into my life since I found your blog. Please keep em coming. Thanks for the chance to win the Sugar and Spice cart. Think it's awesome!A day without Joy is a day without sunshine.

I love that sign and the web is awesome!! Yes, I love to make decorations for the house. My most recent one was not actually Cricut made but I found this beautiful hurricane vase on Pinterest that was filled with dried red beans, dried split peas, and popcorn kernals and then you put a candle in it too. I need to add some leaves from my Cricut to the twine and bow that I put on the outside but havent had time to do that yet!

Halloween is a fun holiday to make decoo for - but now that I'm an 'empty nester', I don't do as much as I once did - more along the lines of cards, LO's and a few ATC cards!! Thanks for the chance to win Sugar & Spice - I've got 2 girls, and hoping for granddaughters someday!!!

I don't usually make home decor at all, but the ideas your showing are really cute! I may start! Thanks for the chance to win! My daughter is pregnant, & that cart. would be perfect for albums & party favors!Tammy B.

I don't make Halloween decor items, but that doesn't mean that I don't like seeing others' creations! This is super-cute. Love the spiderweb on top of the O and the raven inside the other one. (spooky!) :)

Your TC designed wall hanging is AMAZINGLY PERFECT!!!!!! I love decorations and this year, I just haven't had the time to create some special ones like this! Why does this time of the year seem so over whelming?Creative WishesClaire S.www.scrapmyway.blogspot.com

OMG! I LOVE that BOO sign! I make my Halloween home decor. Most everything is paper crafts. I joke that my house is scary because it's really just cutesy. Here's a link to an old post of some of my 'scarey' stuff.http://robinredd.typepad.com/west_coast_scrapper/2010/10/spooky-blog-haunt-1.html

Fantastic "Boo" sign! Ironic too, considering I was up until 4:30 this morning making a "Boo" sign of my own! I have a simple black frame with the word "Create" in black vinyl letters adhered to the glass, (the back is removed), hanging in my craft room. Last night, the mood struck me to make some sort of wall hanging with the word "Boo". I used letters from the Blackletter cart., and essentially built it as though I were making a card; matting, embellishing, etc. I was able to slip it in front of the glass, so that I can remove it after Halloween, and my original sign is intact. Although it took all night, I'm thrilled with the final project, and newly inspired to make alternate hanging to interchange for various holidays. That's a whole lot of use for my $1 frame from Dollar Tree!

I LOVE this. I recently covered some large wood letters that spell "BOO" but I had not embellished them yet. The pumpkin, web and raven add to the visual appeal but do not overwhelm the piece. I definitely want to try this. Thank you!Venus

I'm new to Cricut! I want to get the Expressions or Expressions 2. What is the difference (in a few easy words!).?? Love your blog.. just found it while researching E1 and E2.
